A look into the presence of contemporary Puerto Rican art in the Museum, from its foundation in 1959 until the opening of its current building in 1965.
Small treasures from the Frick Collection
The Frick Collection is a prestigious New York museum located in a mansion on Fifth Avenue. The exhibition presents ten small masterpieces of an intimate nature, mostly on paper, by important European artists such as Goya, Durero, or Delacroix.
Frederic Leighton and the Eternal Mediterranean
The first exhibition in America dedicated to Frederic Leighton, the author of our iconic Flaming June. With paintings, oil sketches and drawings on loan from Leighton House Museum in London, the exhibition explores the artist’s interest in the Mediterranean and the female figure.
Luxury and Identity: Konstantin Makovsky and the Decorative Arts in Russia
A rich and exquisite treasure of Russian decorative arts, with objects from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century, provides the context to immerse us in one of the Museum’s largest and most beloved paintings, Konstantin Makovsky’s intriguing Choosing the Bride (1887). Our exhibition Konstantin Makovsky: The Czar’s Painter presents over 40 pieces – paintings, icons, silver, ceramics and enamels – from Hillwood Estate, Museum and Gardens in Washington, D.C.
Family, Work and Diversity in Eighteenth-Century Mexico
The paintings of castes respond to the social reality of miscegenation in the New Spain in the 18th century, a moment in which Mexico is an important center of artistic creation. The exhibition displays colorful, exotic and intriguing caste paintings from the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture, recently restored at the Museo de Arte de Ponce.
The Memory of Nature: The Rhythm of Life, by Diógenes Ballester
The Puerto Rican artist approaches ancient or distant cultures to look for clues that help us recover the connection with nature from our place in the cosmos, a link that has been lost in the globalized western culture. The exhibition stimulates your senses and invites you to transport yourself to moments of reflection, union with your surroundings, and return to common roots.
